This video was absolutely awesome! Brief and good focus on the key pieces without so much fluff that distracts from the key content!

[synthmania]

Thanks Brandon. Love your content. Have tried installing
apps once a container has been provisioned in silent mode? Thnx

[angelmondragon]

Thanks for your video!

just one question, does this installation also applies for Windows Server 2016?

[MohammedKhan-hcmr]

very nice and simple and clear, could you please add ssl cert to container and bind that cert to testsite and render on https

Thank you so much for the guide, I've encountered few challenges along the way but it was okay.
I'm a newbie setting up a windows docker through an AWS EC2 Machine.
I would like to continue following the guide to simulate a simple run through the docker container, but I cannot follow anymore because the files used are not available (IIS Website), can you also provide it in your blog or a link in the video?

[grokit]

Thanks Brandon. Cool first step.
I have a question for you. I do have .NET application I would like to dockerize. It is basically a service that provides a webserver and some communication with external devices via the network. It should run nicely in a container.
The only problem I have is that the installation of that software is done via a GUI program where I need to enter some configuration.
How can I still install this service when I do not know what changes the installation program applies to the system?
Do you (or the other fellow watchers of your channel) have an idea on how I can dockerize this software, if the only way to install it is via a GUI installation?

[johnwuethrich]

can you manage this graphicly and or pass through network cards? or do a vswitch/bridge? can you see these in the hyper-v panel? any good tutorials on containerizing a non ms app? i've got a LoB app where the vendor wants 2 server instances and 5 win 10 instances acting as servers "machine interface"... this seems like something i should explore containerizing on server 2022

I have encounter problem trying to install dockermsftprovider, on farther research Microsoft has deprecated dockermsftprovider is their an alternative that I can use ?

[jamesjones-gkgp]

what are you using for server software. I have tried everything to install the windows container system on the server but I just get errors when I use install-package. I am using the 2022 standard eval version and I have tried even to reinstall have bare minimum running and even that doesn't work it seem the will not install so it can never find it. let me know what you think.

[pluralvistamaar]

Thanks for this video. I am trying to follow your video guide, but I am not able to enable Hyper-V (22 Standard Edition on Virtual Box). I have enable nested VT-x/AMD-v but still not letting me to enable Hyper-V. Any ideas what I still must do?

[BeninChurchil]

Can you install SQL server inside a container, ?

[AdrianuX]

I've heard of docker containers on windows, but haven't explored the topic.
Is such a scenario possible:
Windows container with MS AD running on Linux?

[johnwuethrich]

restart-computer.... because nix style reboot was too complicated? I'm surprised there isn't a subscription license for windows 11 on windows server for the privilege of referring to server as a computer inside PowerShell syntax.

[bitMan]

Just checking. But does this install the Docker Enterprise Edition? Don't you need an annual subscription for this? What's the command for the Community Edition? Cheers for the video.

I tried to follow the guide, but when I got to the part where I entered Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider it just times out and said that it was unable to download the file. I'm not sure what is going on or why at this point. It could be the corporate firewall that I am behind. If that is the case then I need to figure out how to download that file to a separate computer and then transfer it to my Windows server 2022 machine.

[elkhanismayilov]

when i click hyper-v check box getting error. the error say's "Hyper-V cannot be installed. The processor does not required virtualization capabilities" Actually I did not solve the problem throughout 3 days

[hashamahmad]

I cant run command Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider, it returns with error.

[Luca_]

For who face the problem in year 2024

While execute PowerShell command "Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Force" Then it return error not found!

The reason is this service has been shut down since May 23rd 2023 Thanks for Mattes, Claudio-GMZ
